A well told fairy tale

I watched "The Chronicles of Narnia" in the afternoon. I heard many people say that it is not good, but everyone does not deny that there is still something to watch. Criticism is nothing more than saying that the plot is simple, too old-fashioned, like a movie for children. So I was mentally prepared before going to the cinema. It should be said that this is still a very suitable film to watch in the cinema. In terms of picture and sound effects, although there is no breakthrough compared to "The Lord of the Rings", it is inferior, but it evokes many good memories of my childhood. I remember that the fairy tales I liked to watch when I was a child were so colorful. This movie, many comments said, is a faithful reproduction of the style of the original. Although I have not seen it, I believe it is similar to the "Onion Head" I watched before. "The Adventures", "The Adventures of Pippi Longstocking", "Carlson the Flying Man", "Blue Elf", "Barba Papa", "The Adventures of the Antelope" and so on are all excellent fairy tale works, and they can all Take us into a wonderful fantasy world. If you don't look at it with the eyes of adults, but with the pure eyes of children, this film is still very interesting.


First of all, it has a very exciting beginning. If you follow the little girl and look at this new and magical world with childlike eyes, you will find that there are many surprises in it, the snow-capped world, wonderful encounters, How can you not be amazed? Secondly, there are some weird, but cute characters in this film. The first half-human, half-sheep Thomas is cute. He is warm and hospitable, simple in heart, and has many cute little gestures. The look of him shyly hiding behind the tree is really cute from his shape to his personality, a bit like "Magic". Sam in Ring, to paraphrase danzhu's words, is a character who has a lot of drama as soon as he appears. Of course, because the story is simple, he didn't develop much in the end. Speaking of cute characters, there are also the beaver couple, but they are just simple characters that belong to the gags in Disney animation. In addition, there is another general Ma who is simple in depiction, but also very attractive in character. His lines are resolute and unsmiling. He is the embodiment of loyalty and justice. The shape of the horse's body is amazingly realistic. Several shots When I flashed past him, I felt as if the fairy tale world I saw was real. People who like the animal world should like this film very much, because the animals in it are very cute, the lion does not know whether it is real or fake, the expression on his face is very rich and charming, the name is "Aslan" "I suspect that the author is a fan of the mysteriously disappeared Aslan culture, and I hope that this culture will one day be revived.



Although this work is simple, it is not without meaning. In addition to the simple theme of justice over evil, I believe its religious theme is also a main line, and the author should be a Christian. First of all, the brothers and sisters were called "the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve" and became the king and queen of saving the kingdom in the prophecy of Narnia. In the process of saving the kingdom, they were also experiencing the process of self-growth, and they finally overcame My own shortcomings: those who used to like to shirk their responsibilities no longer shirk their responsibilities, and correspond to the behavior of Adam in the Bible, overcome the old self and become a new Adam; those who used to like to be competitive and express themselves, finally learned to be humble ( It has always been said in the Bible that pride is the greatest enemy that prevents people from accepting God); the timid and cowardly, eventually become a powerful person for the sake of family and friendship. Secondly, we can see that the Ice Queen is the incarnation of Satan. She is not particularly powerful. To conquer Narnia, she uses those criminal animals and dwarfs, and sells her relatives for a few candies. , Edward, who betrayed justice, her negotiation with the Lion King for Edward was by no means just to show the rules of magic, but to show the Lion King her victory, which also corresponds to a theme of the Bible. The focus of the battle between the devil and God is on human beings. Once human beings are tempted by the devil to sin, the devil will prevail. As human beings, because of their flesh, they are inevitably imperfect, easily tempted, and have shortcomings of one kind or another. So God finally sent Jesus, his beloved Son, into the world, to sacrifice his sinless life to defeat the devil. In the world of "The Chronicles of Narnia", the redemption of the guilty Edward was accomplished by the Lion King, who was first humiliated and then killed, which should refer to the suffering of Jesus. The final resurrection is no surprise. So the resurrection plot appears, and although it is logically old-fashioned, I have full respect for this plot. Where is the highest secret of magic? Human beings are redeemed by sacrificing innocent lambs.



To sum up, we can see that this fairy tale is not only a condensation of all the fairy tales we have seen before, but also a prophecy used by a devout Christian to educate children. While inspiring imagination, it also tells about That timeless, chewy, wise theme. So, this is a well told fairy tale, although it is more extensive and profound than "The Lord of the Rings", and "Harry Potter" is less ingenious and subtle.
